Dr. Ehrlich was born in Brooklyn, New York and attended  the State University of New York, School of Medicine.  He did advanced training in Wisconsin and California.  He was the Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the U.S. Army hospital, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. He has been practicing Obstetrics and Gynecology in Sandy Springs in 1973 and has delivered over 5000 babies. He has now reached the second generation of obstetrics, giving obstetrical care to women whom he himself had delivered. He hopes he will be around long enough to attend the next generation.  

Dr. Ehrlich is Board Certified and a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. He has served as Chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee of Planned Parenthood of Atlanta and was the founding Vice-President the Sandy Springs Branch of the American Cancer Society. He has been a volunteer physician for the Peachtree Road Race, Atlanta Marathon and the 1996 Olympic Games.

In 1998, because uninsured, non-citizen Hispanic population in Atlanta were struggling to obtain quality obstetrical care, Dr. Ehrlich co-founded a prenatal clinic with a local Hispanic businessman. That clinic evolved into Centro Internacional de Maternidad (CIMA) which now runs four maternity clinics, and employs five midwives and four obstetricians.  CIMA has delivered over 3000 babies since the first clinic opened. Spurred in part by CIMA, the principal women's hospitals in Atlanta have come to recognize the needs of Latino clientele.  The hospitals now employs full time translators and distribute their information packets and consent forms in Spanish.    

For recreation Dr. Ehrlich skis, rafts and has run the New York Marathon twice although he cannot remember why. He has four wonderful children, "I believe in my product."   He is married to Dr. Margaret Gorley Ehrlich, a native of Eatonton, Georgia, who is the Chairman of the Department of Mathematics at Georgia Perimeter College.  She says he is everything her mother warned her would happen if she moved to Atlanta.
